They're no longer even pretending to be objective. It's all about being right and shoving your beliefs down the throats of those who dare think for themselves.

In my first job in tv news a thousand years ago, the news director instructed us how to shoot interviews. When shooting cutaways -- used to cover edits in the piece -- the reporter was to just sit there. No nodding as that could be taken as agreeing with the interviewee. How quaint, huh?
Along those lines, I added my own spin. I would regularly film (yes, film) press conferences. A bunch of cameras on a riser behind and above the seated reporters. I would always set up at one end or the other, minimizing the subject at the mike's chance to address my camera and the viewers directly.
As a side note, if the press conference subject wasn't the right denomination and he had a "useful" facial expression, the sound of still camera motor drives firing was comical/horrifying.

That’s his job. To tell the rest of Europe to go fuck themselves. I love Hungary and have spent considerable time in BP.

Poland, Hungary, Checz Repbulic, and Slovakia having been overrun from both the East and the West for centuries, survived under brutal socialistic regimes and understands the value of liberty, to be sovereign, and self-determination.
Having to defend themselves against an un-elected politburo with no ties to those countries and no regard for culture, is beyond ridiculous.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Shaql,

Makes me extra proud of my Hungarian heritage. My dad fought in the '56 revolution and luckily escaped. He really tried hard not to let his boys take our freedom for granted.
